Istanbul Protests Erupt Over Assassination of Hamas Leader Haniyeh


In a powerful display of solidarity, thousands of demonstrators marched through the streets of Istanbul today to protest the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh. The protestors, waving Turkish and Palestinian flags, voiced their outrage and grief over the killing.

Haniyeh, a key figure in Hamas’s international diplomacy, was assassinated in Tehran, an event that has escalated tensions in the Middle East and prompted threats of retaliation against Israel.

The march took place in Istanbul’s Fatih district, where participants held posters of Haniyeh and banners declaring, “Martyr Haniyeh, Jerusalem is our cause and your path is our path.” Chants of “murderer Israel, get out of Palestine” resonated through the crowd, reflecting the deep-seated anger and sorrow of the demonstrators.

Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan condemned the assassination, asserting that such actions would not deter the Palestinian struggle. The Istanbul protest is expected to be one of many in response to Haniyeh’s death, as the region braces for further unrest.
